Optical Fiber Cables: A Unique Communication Medium

1

• Optical Fiber Cables A Unique Communication
  Medium

2

• Overview
• Here are some unique qualities of an optical
  fiber cable you should know.

3

• An OFC cable is used for communication devices
  like your phone or your PC.
• The high transmission capacity of an optical
  fiber cable makes it the best transmission wires
  that could be used for communication across a
  long distance.

• Here are some unique facts about the OFC Cable
  you should know
• 1. An OFC cable is the most secure communication
  wire
• The dielectric material of the wires makes it
  almost impossible to tap into an OFC cable. And,
  it is immune from any conducted or radiated
  interference. This makes this wire fit for
  expanding it through a long distance without
  worrying about the security.

2. The OFC cable has a much greater bandwidth
compared to a conventional copper wire A greater
bandwidth implies that the wire can carry
information at a much higher rate than any other
conventional wire, making it fit for long
distance transmission. 3. Using an OFC cable
causes the signal loss to minimize In a
conventional copper wire, the signal loss would
be huge, slowing down the speed of transmission.
But, the unique fiber cables minimize this to a
mere negligible amount, causing the speed to
increase.

• 4. OFCs can range up to 40 kilometers
• The conventional copper wires had a restriction
  of 100m range. But the optical fibers can now
  range up to 40 km distances without causing a
  problem. Various factors have a role to play in
  this, including the fact that the wire has a much
  greater bandwidth and causes no signal loss and
  that it is a high voltage cable.

• 5. An OFC is a Fireproof cable
• Not only is the material of the OFC fireproof,
  but also unsusceptible to fluctuation of
  temperatures. The core of these cables is made of
  glass, which makes the wire an insulator as well.
  
• Copper, compared to these wires, was a good
  conductor, and easy to put on fire. Making the
  OFC a much better alternative..

8

• 6. An OFC is lightweight and more durable
• An OFC cable is an extremely lightweight and easy
  to handle cable as compared to any other
  conventional alternative. However, even after
  being such a small size, the wire is much more
  durable. Its unique material makes it immune to
  almost any natural fluctuation.

• 7. OFC cable is the most inexpensive
• Even after being the best at almost any quality
  required, the OFC cable is the most inexpensive
  of all the alternatives.
